INTRODUCTION 


The  following  work,  which  is  intended  to  be  both  a  stud  book 
and  trotting  register  of  Maine-bred  horses,  was  undertaken 
through  a  strong  desire  to  trace  out  and  preserve  in  a  form 
convenient  for  reference,  the  pedigrees  and  performances  of 
those  noted  animals  whose  names  and  achievements  adorn 
the  brightest  pages  of  the  turf  history  of  our  country. 

In  presenting  it  to  the  pubUc,  I  do  so  with  the  full  under- 
standing that  trotting  pedigrees  are  very  unreliable,  and, 
although  I  have  endeavored,  as  far  as  possible,  to  establish  the 
breeding  of  every  animal,  there  are  so  many  ways  in  which 
errors  may  creep  in,  that  I  should  not  dare  to  assert  that  they 
are,  in  all  cases,  absolutely  correct.  Neither  would  I  assert 
that  the  list  is  complete  and  satisfactory  in  every  respect, 
only  that  it  is  as  nearly  so  as  I  am  able  to  command. 

If  any  one  has  knowledge  of  any  errors  or  emissions,  I  will 
esteem  it  a  favor  to  be  informed  of  the  fact,  and  should 
another  edition  be  issued,  the  proper  corrections  will  bo 
made.  I  can  only  say  that  I  have  earnestly  sought  after  the 
truth,  with  nothing  added  and  nothing  taken  away. 

In  1852,  an  eminent  writer — Sanford  Howard,  Esq.,  of 
Boston — made  the  following  remark:  "  Maine  has,  until  within 
a  few  years,  furnished  nearly  all  the  trotting  stock,  of  any 
note,  in  the  country." 

That  Maine  horses  have  not  deteriorated,  and  that  a  large 
proportion  of  the  best  trotting  and  gentlemen's  driving 
horses  in  the  country  are  still  bred  in  Maine,  is  fully  attested, 


Vlll  NOTED  MAINE  HORSES. 

for  the  turf  records  of  the  country  are  full  of  their  names  and 
achievements ;  and  the  peculiar  excellences  of  form  and  car- 
riage of  the  "  Drew,"  the  ''  Eaton,"  the  "  Knox,"  and  other 
strains  of  blood,  are  quite  as  well  known,  and  as  spiritedly- 
championed,  by  their  respective  admirers,  in  the  marts,  and 
at  the  racing  courses  of  Boston  and  New  York,  as  on  the 
breeding  farms  and  stables  in  Maine. 

I  have  thought  it  might  be  interesting  to  give  an  account 
of  the  rise  and  progress  of  the  sport  of  ti'otting,  from  the 
commencement  until  the  present  time,  showing  the  prom- 
inent part  taken  from  time  to  time  by  Maine  bred  horses : 

"  The  first  time,"  I  quote  from  Frank  Forrester's  "  Horse  of 
America,''^  "ever  a  horse  trotted  in  public  for  a  stake  was  in 
1818,  and  that  was  against ,  time  for  $1,000.  The  match  was 
proposed  at  a  jockey  club  dinner,  where  trotting  had  come  un- 
der discussion,  and  the  bet  was  that  no  horse  could  be  pro- 
duced which  could  trot  a  mile  in  three  minutes.  It  was 
accepted,  and  the  horse  named  at  the  post  was  '  Boston  Blue,' 
who  won  cleverly,  and  gained  great  renown.^' 

In  1819  Zuarrow,  a  chestnut  gelding,  was  taken  from  Maine 
to  Massachusetts  by  O.  B.  Palmer,  of  Waterville,  and  trotted 
a  mile,  "just  across  Charleston  Bridge,"  in  2.57. 

The  year  1825  brings  us  to  what  may  be  called  the  origin  of 
authorized  trotting,  as  in  it  was  established  the  New  York 
Club,  got  up  with  a  view  of  improving  the  speed  of  road 
horses,  "  by  which  means  many  horses  whose  speed  was  then 
in  obscurity,  might  be  brought  into  notice,  and  consequently 
their  value  enhanced." 

The  first  meeting  was  given  "  at  the  Club's  course,  near  the 
Jamaica  Turnpike,  Long  Island,"  in  May,  1826.  The  editor 
of  the  American  Farmer,  after  publishing  the  notice  of 
the  above  meeting,  adds  the  following  exhortation :  "  Why 
are  not  clubs  like  the  above  formed  in  this  vicinity?  It  would 
afford  an  excellent  test  for  the  speed  and  value  of  harness 
horses,  as  the  turf  does  for  the  race  horse.  Who  will  set  it 
argoing?" 


INTR  OD  UCTION.  IX 


In  1835,  the  sport  of  trotting  became  more  and  more  popu- 
lar, and  there  was  scarcely  a  gentleman  in  New  York  who 
did  not  own  one  or  two  fast  horses,  and  matches  were  daily- 
ridden  or  driven.  In  1836,  Fanny  PuUen  (see  page  39)  trotted 
in  a  race  over  the  Centreville  Course,  against  Dutchman  and 
Confidence.  The  race  was  two-mile  heats,  in  harness,  and 
the  betting  ran  very  high.  The  Eastern  men  backed  Fanny 
PuUen,  the  Philadelphians  put  up  strongly  on  Confidence, 
while  the  Kew  Yorkers  stuck  to  Dutchman,  who  won  in  two 
heats,  Fanny  Pullen,  second,  the  time  being  S.IT^-,  5. 18 J. 

In  1837,  Daniel  D.  Tompkins  (see  page  38)  beat  Rattler,  over 
the  Centreville  Course,  three-mile  heats,  in  7.59,  8.09,  which 
was  the  fastest  as  yet  recorded. 

In  1838,  Daniel  D.  Tompkins  won  a  race  of  three-mile 
heats,  over  the  Hunting  Park  Course,  Philadelphia,  beating 
Edwin  Forrest; first  heat,  8.07,  second  heat,  Forrest  distanced, 
first  two  miles  done  in  5.30.  This  was  a  match  for  $10,000, 
and  after  winning  it  Tompkins  challenged  any  horse  in  the 
world  to  trot  him  three-mile  heats,  over  the  Hunting  Park 
Course,  for  the  sum  of  $1000,  vdthout  finding  a  taker. 

From  the  time  Boston  Blue  "gained  great  renown,"  by  trot- 
ting a  mile  inside  three  minutes,  we  find  continual  advance- 
ment. 

Trotting  time  stood  for  years  at  2.32,  then  2.30,  until,  in 
1849,  Pelham  (see  page  278)  "rose  into  high  notice,"  by  trot- 
ting a  mile  in  the  unprecedented  time  of  2.28,  in  harness,  in 
a  race  against  Lady  Suffolk  and  Jack  Rossiter. 

Mac  (see  page  53)  also  went  extremely  well  this  year,  win- 
ning eight  times,  against  such  nags  as  Lady  Moscow,  twice, 
Lady  Suffolk,  four  times,  Jack  Rossiter,  twice,  Moscow,  Gray 
Eagle  and  Zachary  Taylor.  He  made  his  mile,  once,  in  2.26, 
and  his  two  miles  in  5.09,  5.10. 

This  year  was  enough  to  prove  him  what  he  was,  a  first-rate 
animal  for  his  day. 

Cotemporary  with  the  above  were  the  following  named 


NOTED  MAINE  HORSES. 


horses,  who  were  all  more  or  less  distinguished  for  their  per- 
formances on  the  turf:  Zachary  Taylor,  Independence,  Henry, 
Tom  Benton,  Blanc  Negre,  Ice  Pony,  Lafayette,  Lady  Swan 
Dying  Sergeant,  Sorrel  Hiram,  etc.,  all  of  which  were  bred  in 
this  State. 

In  1856,  Flora  Temple  cut  the  record  down  to  2.24i,  in  a 
race  in  harness,  against  Taconey,  under  saddle,  in  which  she 
distanced  him  in  the  first  heat,  in  what  Frank  Forrester  terms 
the  prodigious  time  of  2.24^.  Here  the  record  stood  until 
1859,  when  she  won  a  race  against  Princess,  over  the  Eclipse 
Course,  L.  L,  in  which  the  previous  time  was  not  only  beaten 
by  two  seconds  and  a  half,  but  it  was  beaten  in  all  the  heats. 
Mr.  Woodruff  says,  "there  had  never  been  anything  like  such 
a  trot  before."  Flora  won  in  three  straight  heats,  in  2.231-, 
2.22,  2.23^. 

The  following  September,  at  Cincinnati,  Flora  beat  Ike 
Cook  in  straight  heats,  the  last  of  them  being  trotted  in  2.21^. 
Oct.  15,  same  year,  at  Kalamazoo,  Mich.,  she  won  a  race  in 
three  heats,  beating  a  horse  called  Honest  Anse  and  Princess, 
and  capped  the  climax  of  her  fame  by  winning  the  third  heat 
in  the  remarkable  time  of  2.191-  Since  which  the  following 
named  horses  have  made  a  record  of  2.20  or  better,  viz. :  Gold- 
smith Maid,  American  Girl,  Lucy,  Dexter,  George  Palmer, 
Lady  Thorn,  Judge  Fullerton,  and  Occident. 

With  the  increase  of  speed  there  has  also  been  a  propor- 
tionate increase  in  the  number  of  animals  engaged,  and  in 
the  number  of  public  contests  recorded.  In  1856  there  were 
eleven  heats  trotted  in  2.30,  or  less,  while  in  1871,  there  were 
three  hundred  and  eighteen.  The  whole  number  of  public 
contests  recorded  in  1871  was  1,665,  representing  over  a  mil- 
lion of  dollars  in  premiums  and  purses,  besides  the  great 
value  of  the  horses.  The  horses  would  average  $1000  each, 
and  not  less  than  three  to  each  race,  which  would  be,  say, 
$5,000,000  in  horses,  alone  who  actually  trotted  in  the 
several  races  during  that  year.    From  this,  and  other  reliable 


INTR  OD  UCTION.  XI 


data,  I  calculate  the  value  of  those  in  training,  and  in  the 
breeding  studs,  all  united,  would  amount  to  not  less  than 
$15,000,000,  being  that  sum  invested  in  this  country  in  trot- 
ting and  pacing  horses  alone. 

In  1872,  Maine  horses  did  extremely  well.  August  8,  at 
Buffalo,  N.  Y.,  Lady  Maud,  by  Gen.  Knox,  (see  page  127)  won 
a  race  for  five-year-olds,  beating  Zilcaadi,  Mary  H.  Rowe's 
Tommy,  and  Yanity  Fair,  in  straight  heats,  time,  2.29^,  2.29|, 
2.27i.  Oct.  10,  at  Prospect  Park,  she  won  a  matched  race,  for 
a  purse  of  $5000,  beating  Lucille  Golddust,  winning  the  first 
heat  in  2.30^,  the  third  in  2.22^,  and  the  fourth  and  race  in 
2. 22 J,  which  is  the  fastest  on  record  for  the  age. 

Sept.  14,  at  Mystic  Park,  Boston,  Camors,  by  Gen.  Knox, 
(see  page  126)  beat  Crown  Prince,  Sleepy  John,  Nonesuch, 
and  Dauntless,  time,  2.23|,  2.24i,  2.25. 

Sept.  19,  he  beat  William  H.  Allen,  Judge  Fullerton,  Lula 
and  Triumph,  at  Prospect  Park.  The  time  of  the  first  heat 
was  2.23,  and  the  second  2.21 1.  The  third  heat  was  won  by 
W.  H.  Allen,  in  2.24,  and  the  fourth  by  Camors  in  2.23i,  mak- 
ing four  heats,  all  under  2.25. 

Oct.  21,  Ben.  Morrill  (see  page  212)  won  a  four-year-old 
race,  at  Prospect  Park,  beating  Rowe's  Tommy,  and  Dixon. 
Rowe's  Tommy  won  the  first  heat,  in  2.48i,  and  Ben.  Morrill 
the  second,  in  2.34|,  the  third  in  the  remarkably  fast  time  of 
2.321,  and  the  fourth  heat  and  race  in  2.36. 

Mr.  Linsley,  in  his  work  on  Morgan  horses,  published  in 
1860,  in  speaking  of  the  average  speed  of  trotting  horses* 
says,  "  To  enable  us  to  form  some  idea  of  the  average  speed 
of  the  trotting  horses  of  the  country,  we  made  a  summary  of 
all  the  time,  at  mile  heats,  reported  in  the  Spirit  of  the 
Times  for  the  year  1852,  and  the  average  time  made  by  win- 
ning horses,  at  mile  heats,  during  that  year,  was  2.50,  and  a 
small  fraction."  From  this  it  is  plain  that  a  horse  which 
could  trot  a  mile  within  2.50  would,  in  1852,  have  been  able  to 
defeat  a  large  majority  of  the  trotting  horses  of  the  country.

NOTED    MAINE    HORSES. 


In  1873,  there  were  recorded  2,512  public  contests  with  475 
heats  in  2.30  or  less,  and  expecting  to  find  the  average  time 
much  reduced,  I  made  a  summary  of  all  trotting  races  in  har- 
ness in  1873.  The  time  ranging  from  Occident's  2.161,  at 
Sacramento,  in  Sept.,  to,  and  including  all  those  in  which  the 
loinning  horse  obtained  a  record  of  3.00,  or  better,  and  casting 
out  all  performances  made  to  wagon,  by  pacers,  colts  four 
years  old,  or  under,  double  teams,  and  by  horses  where  the 
winning  horse  did  not  make  a  record  of  3.00,  or  better,  I  find 
the  number  of  races  to  be  1823,  and  the  average  time  2.41 
and  a  fraction. 

Since  Pelham  "rose  into  high  notice"  in  1849,  by  trotting 
a  mile  in  the  then  unprecedented  time  of  2.28,  in  harness,  up 
to  the  close  of  the  trotting  season  of  1873,  a  record  of  2.30,  or 
better,  has  been  made  by  the  following-named  Maine  horses. 
In  the  body  of  this  work  will  be  found  full  and  minute  de- 
scriptions of  each,  giving  all  that  is  known  of  their  pedigree, 
where,  and  by  whom  bred,  and  their  most  noted  performances 
on  the  turf.  Below  I  give  simply  the  names  in  alphabetical 
order,  fastest  record  up  to  the  close  of  the  season  of  1873,  and 
date  and  place  of  performance :

This  list  of  Maine  2.30  horses  I  believe  to  be  complete,  with 
perhaps  the  following  exceptions :  I  am  informed,  since  the 
body  of  the  work  has  been  in  the  printers  hands,  that  the 
gray  gelding,  Hopeful,  by  Godfrey's  Geo.  M.  Patchen,  which 
won  a  race  at  Prospect  Park,  Sept.  23,  1873,  in  a  field  of 
twelve  horses,  winning  the  last  three  out  of  five  heats,  in  2.26, 
2.27,  2.25,  was  bred  in  Maine,  near  Newport,  and  kept  there 
until  four  years  old.  I  am  also  informed  that  Elisha  (which 
see)  won  a  record  of  2.26  in  California,  and  although  I  am 
unable  to  find  any  published  account  of  said  race,  still  I  am 
inchned  to  place  confidence  in  the  statement. 

Shepard  F.  Knapp,  the  one  that  went  to  England,  won  a 
race  near  Paris,  France,  trotting  two  and  a  half  miles  in  six 
minutes  and  fourteen  seconds,  which  is  a  trifle  better  than 
2.30  to  the  mile.  Many  believe  that  Plato,  by  Gen.  Knox,  has 
a  record  of  2.27|-,  and  since  my  list  of  2.30  horses  appeared 
in  the  Maine  Farmer  I  have  received  several  letters,  asking  my 
reasons  for  not  including  Plato.  To  all  such  I  will  say  that  I 
am  unable  to  find  any  such  record  to  his  credit.  I  have  been 
informed,  also,  that  Ben.  McClellan,  who  won  the  second  heat 
in  a  race,  at  Troy,  N".  Y.,  July  24,  1867,  in  2.30,  was  bred  in 
Maine,  and  got  by  the  Old  Drew  horse,  but  I  have  failed 
entirely  to  identify  him. 


XIV  NOTED   MAINE   HOUSES. 

Of  the  above  number  the  following,  viz. :  Baby  Boy,  Barney 
Kelley,  and  Winthrop  Morrill,  Jr.,  were  wholly  unknown,  or 
at  best  had  only  a  local  reputation  at  the  commencement  of 
the  trotting  season  of  1873,  and  I  should  not  be  surprised  if 
the  season  of  1874  found  the  following  Maine-bred  horses 
performing  in  the  "twenties,"  viz.:  the  stallions  King  William 
and  Ben.  Morrill,  the  former  having  thus  early  in  the  season 
scored  a  record  of  2.31  j  in  harness,  and  2.35  to  wagon,  while 
the  latter  has  trotted  close  to  '30,  and  the  black  gelding, 
James  G.  Blaine,  claimed  by  his  owners  to  be  the  fastest 
green  horse  in  New  England,  besides  many  others,  whose 
names  may  not  even  appear  in  the  following  pages. 

The  date  of  the  introduction  into  the  State  of  Winthrop 
Messenger,  Gen.  Knox,  Winthrop  Morrill,  Tom  Patchen,  and 
others  of  less  note  is  given,  in  its  appropriate  place,  in  the 
body  of  the  work,  and  I  will  not  allude  to  it  here. 

It  has  been  estimated  that  there  are  from  twenty  to  thirty 
thousand  mares  used  for  breeding  purposes  in  Maine,  and 
doubtless  in  the  near  future  the  breeding  of  gentlemen's 
driving  horses  and  trotters,  will  become  one  of  the  most  profit- 
able sources  of  wealth  in  the  State,  the  natural  productive 
capacity  of  which  is  almost  without  limit. 

The  complete  list  of  stallions  standing  for  service  in  the 
State  in  1873,  as  taken  from  the  Kegistry  of  Deeds  in  the 
several  counties,  will  be  found  in  the  following  pages,  those 
bred  in  Maine  classed  with  the  families  to  which  they  belong, 
and  those  not  Maine  bred  in  an  appendix. 

The  complete  list  of  names,  claimed  through  the  Maine 
Farmer,  is  also  included,  by  special  permission. 

Taking  this  work  as  a  foundation,  and  making  use  of  the 
generous  offer  of  the  Farmer  to  allow  names  to  be  claimed 
through  its  columns,  free  of  charge,  the  task  of  the  future 
compiler  may  be  rendered  a  comparatively  light  one. 

The  engravings  of  King  William  and  Palmer  Knox  were

cuted  by  Mr.  Bailey,  of  Portland,  the  well-known  artist,  and 
are  excellent  likenesses  of  the  animals  they  represent.  For 
the  cut  of  Gen.  Knox,  I  am  indebted  to  the  kindness  of  Mr. 
T.  S.  Lang,  his  former  owner. 

I  have  lately  received  informa,tion  which  leads  me  to  think 
that  the  pedigree  of  Barney  Kelley,  as  given  on  page  218,  is 
very  doubtful,  to  say  the  least,  also,  that  recent  investigations 
have  shown  that  the  dam  of  King  William  (see  pa,ge  226)  was 
not  by  Witherell,  but  by  Arabian  Hunter,  he  by  Sir  Charles, 
etc.  Among  those  known  to  be  Maine-bred,  about  which  we 
have  but  httle  information,  are  Eoden's  Penobscot,  who 
ti'otted  in  2.311  in  1873,  Ticonic,  who  performed  many  races 
in  the  "thirties,"  Taylor's  Little  Fred,  the  gelding  Daylight, 

It  will  be  seen  by  a  careful  perusal  of  the  following  pages 
that  I  am  quite  largely  indebted  to  Wallace's  American  Trot- 
ting Register,  a  work,  by  the  way,  that  should  be  in  the  hands 
of  every  intelligent  breeder  and  horseman.  I  believe,  how- 
ever, the  proper  credit  has  been  given  in  every  instance. 

In  conclusion,  I  desire  to  express  my  gratitude  to  all  those 
who  have  aided  me  in  the  compilation  of  this  work,  by  the  val- 
uable information  and  words  of  encouragement  which  they 
have  so  generously  bestowed,

WI:N'THE0P  MESSEiS^GEE. 

Chief  among  the  distinguished  horses  known  in  this 
State  was  the  "  Old  Winthrop,"  or  Maine  Messenger. 
He  was  purchased  in  Paris,  Oneida  Co.,  ISTew  York,  by 
Alvin  Hay  ward,  of  Winthrop,  Me.,  and  brought  by  him 
into  that  town  in  the  year  1816. 

Those  who  have  seen  him  describe  ^him  as  a  "large, 
gray,  muscular  horse,  in  his  old  age  white  as  chalk,  with 
a  clumsy  head,  but  well  proportioned  body  and  legs; 
nearly  17  hands  high,  and  weighing  in  ordinary  flesh  1,300 
pounds."  His  form  and  general  appearance  indicated  a 
powerful  animal,  and  he  possessed  a  strong  dash  of  tem- 
per, but  he  never  exhibited  any  of  those  qualities  which 
would  have  entitled  him  'to  be  called  "  a  fast  horse." 

He  was  got  by  Imported  Messenger,  a  gray  stallion  15f 

hands  high,  and   stoutly  built,  who  was  landed  from  a 

vessel  at  the  foot  of  Market  street,  PhiladeJphia,  in  May, 

1788.    His  dam's  pedigree  is  lost,  and  is  at  present  un-

known.  Imported  Messenger  was  foaled  in  1780,  bred 
by  John  Pratt,  Esq.,  of  New  Market,  England,  where  he 
was  a  successful  runner,  winning  the  King's  Plate  in 
1785,  when  five  years  old.  His  pedigree  was  as  follows: 
Got  by  Mambrino,  dam  by  Turf,  grand  dam  by  Eegulus, 
etc.  It  is  said  that  "  the  other  horses  which  accompanied 
him  on  the  voyage  to  this  country'  had  become  so  reduced 
and  weak  J  that  when  taken  off  the  ship  which  brought 
them,  they  had  to  be  helped  and  supported  down  the 
gang-plank;  but  when  it  came  Messenger^s  turn  to  land, 
he  with  a  loud  neigh,  charged  down,  with  a  colored  groom 
on  each  side  holding  him  back,  and  dashed  off  up  the 
street  on  a  stiff  trot,  carrying  the  grooms  along  in  spite 
of  all  their  efforts  to  bring  him  to  a  stand  still.  He  died 
January  28, 1808. 

Winthrop  Messenger  was  the  first  messenger  horse 
brought  into  Maine,  and  was  owned  several  years  in  Win- 
throp and  vicinity  by  different  parties.  First  by  Mr. 
Hay  ward,  then  Geo.  AV.  Stanley,  and  A.  M.  Shaw.  In 
1829  Mr.  Shaw  sold  him  to  John  M.  Eustis,of  Dixfield, 
Oxford  Co.,  for  S180. 

While  owned  in«Dixfield  he  stood  for  service  at  S5.00, 
but  having  so  little  patronage  he  was  turned  out  to  pas- 
ture, when  he  broke  his  near  fore  leg.  This,  however, 
did  not  incapacitate  him  for  service  in  the  stud,  although 
he  was  lame  ever  after.  Eustis  sold  him  back  to  Shaw  in 
1832,  and  he  was  afterwards  taken  to  Anson  by  Henry- 
Stone,  and  died  there  in  1834.  He  was,  says  Mr.  Wood- 
ruff, of  great  value  to  Maine,  and  got  many  fine  trotters. 

Mr.  J.  H.  Wallace  says,  "he  founded  a  race  of  trotters 
that  have  no  superiors  in  the  Union.  From  his  loins 
have  sprung  a  race  that  all  the  world  recognizes  as  among 
the  fastest  and  best  that  this  country  has  ever  produced."

BUSH  MESSENGER. 

Dapple  gray  stallion,  16  hands  high,  and  weighed  1,300 
pounds;  foaled  in  1833,  bred  by  William  Bradbury,  of 
Byron,  Me.,  got  by  Winthrop  Messenger,  while  the  latter 
was  owned  by  John  M.  Eustis  of  Dixfield.  His  dam  was 
a  medium  size  black  mare,  whose  pedigree  was  unknown. 
Mr.  Bradbury  let  Benjamin  Palmer  of  Readfield  have 
him  and  he  was  afterwards  known  as  the  Palmer  Horse. 

Pie  had  his  thigh  broken  by  a  kick,  which  caused  his 
death  in  1840,  when  only  seven  years  old.  It  is  said  that 
Mr.  Bradbury  was  taking  his  mare  to  a  Morgan  horse 
then  owned  by  Spaulding  Smith,  of  Wilton,  that  she  be- 
came lame,  and  he  being  unable  to  proceed  farther  than 
Dixfield,  was  induced,  against  his  wishes,  to  have  her 
served  by  Winthrop  Messenger;  the  produce  was  Bush 
Messenger. 

QUIMBY  MESSEi^GER. 

Gray  stallion,  16  hands  high,  and  weighed  about  1,200 
pounds;  foaled  in  1830,  bred  by  John  Quimby  of  Greene, 
got  by  Winthrop  Messenger,  dam  a  bay  mare  (called  the 
Mower  mare),  pedigree  unknown.  He  was  considered  a 
fine  horse,  and  never  passed  out  of  Mr.  Quimby's  hands. 
He  died  in  1837,  of  horse  ail. 

HUNTOK   HORSE. 

Gray  stallion,  in  his  old  age  white  as  chalk,  16  hands 
high,  and  weighed  1,100  pounds;  foaled  in  1840,  bred  by 
the  widow  Lane,  of  Readfield,  Me.,  got  by  Bush  Messen- 
ger, dam  a  large  white  mare,  pedigree  unknown.  Peter 
Fifield  bought  him  when  two  years  old,  and  sold  him 
when  three,  to  Wellington  Hunton,  of  Wayne.  He  was 
afterwards  purchased  by  America  Earrar  of  Buckfield,

and  died  there  in  1857.  He  was  a  horse  of  fine  style, 
could  trot  in  three  minutes,  and  was  noted  for  getting 
good  roadsters.

Dark,  stone  gray  stallion,-  foaled  in  1853,  bred  by 
Hiram  Eeed  of  Augusta,  Me.,  got  by  Bush  Messenger,  2d; 
dam  by  the  Guild  Horse.  Mr.  Reed  had  him  gelded 
and  sold  him  to  parties  in  Boston. 

WITHERELL  HORSE. 

Sorrel  stallion,  with  light  mane  and  tail,  with  white  in 
the  face,  and  white  hairs  mixed  in  all  over  his  body,  15|- 
hands  high,  and  weighed  from  1,050  to  1,100  pounds. 
Foaled  in  June,  1834,  bred  by  Rev.  Samuel  B.  Witherell, 
Norridgewock,  Me.,  got  by  Winthrop  Messenger,  dam,  a 
light  sorrel  mare  raised  and  owned  by  Mr.  Witherell,  and 
said  to  be  of  Morgan  descent. 

In  1814  he  was  sold,  and  was  owned  successively  by 
Mr.  Russell,  of  Skowhegan,  Joshua  Young,  of  Mercer, 
Alden  Hilton,  of  Kew  Sharon,  and  Richard  Fassett,  of 
West  Mills,  Industry,  where  he  died  in  1859.  He  was  a 
kind  animal  in  the  harness,  but  was  often  vicious  and 
hard  to  manage  when  out.  He  was  a  good  and  fast  road- 
ster, but  laid  no  claims  to  being  a  "fast  horse."  His 
colts  were  much  sought  by  horsemen  from  out  of  the 
State.  Perhaps  we  ought  in  justice  to  state  that  there  are 
persons  who  positively  assert  that  Witherell  was  got  by 
Dolphin  (which  see).

of  ^orridgewock,  Me.,  got  b}^  AYinthrop  Messenger,  clam, 
the  old  Witherell  mare  (so  called),  to  distinguish  her  from 
"Witherell's  dam  which  was  known  as  the  young  Witherell 
mare.  In  1829  or  '30  Mr.  Witherell  sold  him  to  Benjamin 
Hodges,  of  Hallowell,  and  he  to  Reuben  Davis,  of  Boston. 
He  was  a  horse  of  the  finest  style  and  carriao^e,  and  was 
at  that  time  the  fastest  horse  in  Boston  or  vicinity.  This 
was  before  there  were  any  trotting  parks  in  the  vicinity 
of  Boston,  and  they  used  to  trot  him  on  the  road.  He 
would  have  been  verj^  fast  if  he  could  have  been  properly 
trained.  In  1834  Mr.  Davis'  stable  on  Endicott  street 
was  burned,  and   Lion  was  saved  by  knocking  a  hole 


through,  the  side  of  the  stable  and  taking  him  out  on  the 
Salem  street  side.  Mr.  Davis  afterward  took  him  to 
"Windsor,  X.  H.,  and  he  finally  went  to  Baltimore,

DAKIEL   D.  TOMPKIXS. 

Dark  sorrel,  or  chestnut  gelding,  with  white  stripe  in 
face  and  white  hind  feet,  about  15  hands  high,  foaled  in 
1830,  bred  by  a  Mr.  Libby,  of  Farmington,  Me.,  got  by 
Winthrop  Messenger.  Dam,  a  roan  mare,  brought  from 
Westbrook  by  Mr.  Libby;  her  pedigree  was  unknown,  but 
her  appearance  indicated  good  breeding.  Mr.  Libby  sold 
the  colt,  when  one  year  old,  to  Mr.  Gleason,  and  he  to 
Jonathan  Perkins,  also  of  Farmington. 

In  March,  1834,  Perkins  sold  him  to  Charles  Simonds, 
of  Maiden,  Mass.,  for  S125.  Simonds  sold  him  to  a 
butcher  in  Charlestown,  where  Mr.  Oliver  Walton  saw 
him  and  bought  him  and  took  him  to  ISTew  York.  In 
1837,  Oct.  5,  over  the  Centreville  course,  he  beat  Rattler, 
under  the  saddle,  three-mile  heats,  in  7.59 — 8.09,  which 
was  the  greatest  time  as  yet  recorded.  In  May,  1838,  on 
the  Hunting  Park  Course,  Philadelphia,  he  trotted  a  race 
of  three-mile  heats  against  jN'ed  Forrest,  for  $5000  a  side^ 
to  go  as  they  pleased.  Daniel  D.  won  the  first  heat  in 
such  style  that  Gen.  Cadwallader,  who  owned  Ked  For- 
rest, sold  out  his  chance  in  the  race  for  $500.  Anderson 
and  Splcer,  of  New  York,  bought  it,  and  put  Forrest  in 
harness,  but  Daniel  D.  won  it  without  anv  trouble. 
Time  of  first  heat,  8.07;  second  heat,  Forrest  distanced, 
first  two  two  miles  done  in  5.30. 

After  winning  the  race,  Tompkins  challenged  any 
horse  in  the  world  to  trot  him  three-mile  heats,  over  the 
Hunting  Park  Course,  at  Philadelphia,  for  the  sum  of 
$1,000,  without  finding  a  taker.  Mr.  Woodruff,  in  his 
"  Trotting  Horse  of  America,"  says  of  Daniel  D.  Tomp- 
kins, that  "  he  was  a  good  little  horse  with  pluck  enough 
for  the  biggest  that  ever  trotted."  He  was  afterwards 
owned  by  Mr.  William  Fetterall,  of  Philadelphia.

He  had  a  fine  full  eye,  was  lov/  over  the  withers,  with

Sorrel  mare,  15|  hands  high,  and  weighed  1.000 
pounds,  foaled  about  1825,  bred  by  Sullivan  Pullen,  of 
Anson,  Me.,  got  by  Winthrop  Messenger,  dam,  a  bay 
mare,  pedigree  unknown.  Mr.  Pullen  sold  her,  when 
seven  or  eight  years  old,  to  H.  Stone,  who  then  kept  the 
Somerset  Hotel  at  Anson.  He  sold  her,  shortly  after- 
wards, to  John  Swan^  of  Anson,  who  trained  her  a  few 
months  and  took  her  to  Boston,  in  1832  or  '33,  and  sold 
her  to  a  Mr.  Lull,  for  S300.  She  remained  in  Boston 
one  season,  and  trotted  a  number  of  races  on  the  Ded- 
ham  turnpike  against  a  pacer  and  a  trotting  mare  called 
Blinker.  She  was  then  taken  to  'New  York.  "  In  1835," 
— see  the  Horse  of  America  by  Frank  Forrester,  vol.  ii., 
page  158, — "  the  sport  of  trotting  became  more  and 
more  popular,  and  there  was  a  scarce  a  gentleman  in  ^N'ew 
York  who  did  not  own  and  drive  one  or  two  fast  horses. 
Among  the  patrons  of  this  noble  sport,  then  in  its  infan- 
cy, I  can  name  now  Mr.  Coster,  with  Fanny  Pullen,  the 
mother  of  the  incomparable  Trustee."  In  1836  Harry 
Jones  had  Fanny  Pullen,  and  she  was  entered  in  a 
sweepstakes  race,  two-mile  heats  in  harness,  over  the 
Centreville  Course,  against  Dutchman  and  Confidence, 
for  SIOOO.  The  betting  ran  very  high  on  the  race. 
Dutchman  won  it  in  two  heats,  and  Fanny,  second;  time 
5.17^ — 5.18-|-.  The  first  heat  was  the  fastest  two  miles 
that  had  been  made  in  harness. 

This  closed  her  public  iDerformances.  She  was  subse- 
quently purchased  by  Mr.  James  Bridges,  and  bred  to 
Imported  Trustee. 


40  NOTED  MAINE  HOIiSES. 

Pier  first  colt,  called  by  Frank  Forrester  the  "  incom- 
parable Trustee,"  and  widely  known  as  Trustee,  the 
twenty-miler,  was  the  first  horse  to  trot  twenty  miles  in- 
side an  hour,  which  he  accomplished  in  '59,  35^. 

The  race  against  time  took  place  over  the  Union 
Course,  Long  Island,  on  Friday,  Oct.  20, 1848,  and  Trustee 
won  for  himself  imperishable  renown  as  a  trotting-horse, 
and  accomplished  at  his  own  gait  what  it  is  not,  by  any 
means,  every  thoroughbred  hunter  that  can  perform 
at  a  gallop."  "  An  hour  after  the  match,"  says  the  edi- 
tor of  the  Spirit  of  the  Times,  "  we  visited  Trustee  in  his 
stable;  he  exhibited  no  distress,  and  on  the  following  day 
was  as  fine  as  silk.  We  have  seen  him  half  a  dozen  times 
since,  and  he  never  looked  or  trotted  better.  He  is  a 
prodigy,  but  blood  will  tell." 

Mr.  Bridges  bred  another  colt  out  of  Faniiy  Pullen,  by 
Imported  Trustee,  an  own  brother  to  the  twenty-miler. 
This  colt  was  the  sire  of  the  dam  of  the  renowned 
George  M.  Patchen,  and  was  himself  a  fast  and  stout 
trotter.  He  was  gelded  young,  and  was  driven  for  many 
years  by  a  gentleman  in  "Westchester  county.  In  1839, 
Fanny  Pullen  was  purchased  of  Mr.  Bridges,  and  taken 
to  Boston,  by  Mr.  Spencer  J.  Yinal,  of  that  city.  She 
was  at  that  time  about  15  years  old.  Mr.  Yinal  kept  her" 
several  years,  and  finally  had  her  killed,  and  dumped  off 
Commercial  Wharf  into  the  dock.  Dr.  Woods,  the 
veterinary  surgeon,  preserved  one  of  her  fore-legs. 

Fanny  Pullen  was  a  pale  sorrel,  with  a  coarse  hip,  low 
over  the  withers,  and  trotted  down-headed.  Under  the 
saddle  was  her  place  to  trot  fast. 

In  looking  over  the  history  of  Fanny  Pullen.  I  find  I 
have  omitted  two  races  in  which  she  was  engaged.  They 
are  as  follows :   August  20, 1835,  at  Harlem ,  2^.  Y. ,  she  won

a  race,  beating  Craz}^  Jane  and  Snowball.  Time,  2.44, 
2.36,  2.33,  2.35.  Crazy  Jane  winning  tlie  third  heat.  Oct. 
15,  following,  at  the  same  place,  she  beat  Crazy  Jane  and 
Fire  King,  in  2.33,  2.37,  2.40. 

While  Fanny  Fallen  was  owned  in  Anson,  Mr.  Pullen 
raised  three  colts  from  her.  The  first  resembled  his  dam 
in  color  and  general  appearance.  After  having  several 
different  owners,  Mr.  Swan  trained  him  awhile  and  took 
him  to  Mass.,  and  sold  him  about  the  time  he  did  his  dam. 
Her  second  colt  was  a  sorrel,  with  a  white  stripe  in  the 
face.  He  too  was  sold  j^oung,  and  taken  out  of  the  State. 
Her  third  colt  was  a  gray  mare,  and  like  the  others  was 
sold  young,  and  taken  away,  and  ail  trace  of  her  lost. 

By  the  untimely  death  of  John  Sv\^an,  the  only  man, 
probably,  who  could  give  their  Avhole  history,  all  trace  of 
them  is  lost  beyond  recovery.  The  gray  mare,  "  Celeste," 
and  chestnut  gelding,  "  Henry,"  with  many  others, 
passed  through  his  hands,  and  some  of  them  were,  doubt- 
less, descendants  of  Fanny  Pullen. 

ZAC    TAYLOPt, 

Sometimes  called  "  Gen.  Taylor,"  was  a  sorrel  gelding, 
15f  hands  high,  foaled  in  1841,  bred  by  Dr.  Safford, 
of  West  Gardiner,  Me.,  got  by  Quimby  Messenger,  dam, 
a  mare  used  on  the  stage  from  Augusta  to  Bangor,  and 
said  to  be  well  bred.  Benjamin  Hodges,  of  Hallowell, 
bought  him  in  the  winter  of  1846,  and-sold  a  one-half  in- 
terest to  Capt.  Sager,  who  then  kept  the  Hallowell  House, 
and  they  sold  him,  the  following  March,  to  Oliver  Wal- 
ton, of  Boston.  Pie  was  afterwards  owned  by  C.  P.  Relf, 
of  Philadelphia.  Mr.  Woodruff  says  "  he  was  a  very 
famous  trotter  and  sticker."  He  trotted  successfully 
against  Lady  Suffolk  and  Tacony.    is'ov.  8, 1848,  he  won

was  finally  taken  to  Mass.,  and  trotted  in  the  thirties. 

BELLE    OF    PORTLAN^D.

Hinkley,  of  Mercer,  Me.,  got  by  Witherell,  dam,  pedigree 
unknown. 

Hinkley  sold  her  to  Dr.  Boland,  of  New  Sharon,  and 
he  to  Hannibal  Belcher,  Esq.,  of  Farmington,  in  August, 
1854.  In  1855  Mr.  Belcher  sold  her  to  Oliver  Walton,  of 
Boston,  for  S175,  and  Walton  took  her  to  Winthrop, 
shortly  afterwards  and  sold  her  to  William  Beals.  Mr. 
Beals  sold  her  to  James  Jack,  of  Portland,  and  he  to 
James  Irving,  of  New  York. 

In  1857,  at  the  Union  Course,  July  29,  she  won  a  race

against  Harry  Walton,  in  which  he  was  distanced  in  the 
second  heat,  for  a  purse  of  S2000. 

At  the  Kew  City  Course,  N.  Y.,  Oct.  10, 1861,  she  won 
a  race  against  George  Cooley  and  Pill  Doctor,  in  which 
four  heats,  all  under  2.30  were  made.  Belle  of  Portland 
winning  the  fastest  in  2.26.  She  was  subsequently  pur- 
chased by  Mr.  J.  J.  Burgess,  and  died  on  the  farm  of  her 
owner  at  Belleville,  New  Jersey,  on  Friday,  Feb'y  1st, 
1867.  Wilkes'  Spirit  of  The  Times,  of  Feb'y  9, 1867,  in 
speaking  of  the  death  of  the  "  celebrated  trotting  mare, 
Belle  of  Portland,"  sa^^s:  "  she  w^as  in  her  day,  one  of  the 
best  and  gamest  trotters  on  the  turf,  and  gave  promise 
during  last  fall  of  coming  back  to  her  old  condition,  and 
of  being  able  to  repeat,  in  the  coming  spring,  some  of  her 
previous  exploits.  It  was  the  intention  of  her  owner  to 
have  trotted  her  for  one  season  more,  and  then  to  have 
retired  her  finally  for  breeding  purposes." 

It  may  not  be  uninteresting  to  state  that  Mr.  Belcher 
sold  her  for  $175,  because  she  was  unable  to  see  anything 
after  it  became  dark. 

BELLE  STEICKLAND. 

Sorrel  mare  with  white  stripe  in  face,  and  one  white  an-

JUSTIN  MOEGAK. 

Next  to  "Wintlirop  Messenger,  Maine  is  probably  more 
largely  indebted  to  the  descendants  of  the  famous  Justin 
Morgan,  for  whatever  speed  she  may  possess,  than  to 
any  other  source.  This  horse,  Justin  Morgan,  was  a  dark 
bay  with  black  points,  and  no  white  marks,  about  14 
hands  high  and  weighed  about  950  pounds,  foaled  in  1793, 
bred  in  Springfield,  Mass.,  and  died  near  Chelsea,  Yt,  in 
the  winter  of  1821;  got  by  True  Briton;  also  called  Beau- 
tiful Bay.  Mr.  Wallace  in  his  Trotting  Eegister,  Yol.  II., 
says:  "It  is  altogether  probable  that  the  sire  of  Justin 
Morgan  was  thoroughbred,  and  that  his  dam  had  some  of 
the  blood  of  Lindsey's  Arabian,  in  her  veins."  He  was 
blood-like  in  his  appearance,  but  there  is  no  evidence  that 
he  was  a  trotter  of  any  considerable  speed. 

Among  his  descendants,  who  have  been  in  the  stud  in 
Maine  at  different  times,  are  the  following — viz.: 

MoRaAN"  C^SAR,  taken  to  Maine,  in  1833,  or  34,  by 
Spaulding  Smith,  of  Wilton,  and  was  known  in  Maine, 
as  "Morgan  Post  Boy;"  got  by  Woodbury,  by  Justin 
Morgan,  dam,  by  Quicksilver.  He  was  the  sire  of  Mac, 
Pizarro,  etc.,  etc.  He  was  taken  to  Yermont,  in  1842.

was  also  known  as  the  Steele  Horse,  Crane  Horse,  and 
in  some  places  as  the  Chamberlain  Colt;  got  by  Sherman,

There  may  have  been,  and  doubtless  were  others  of  the

stood  for  service  in  the  State  in  1831  and  '32.  Sherman, 
another  son,  was  driven  from  Lyndon,  Vt.,  to  Portland,

WHALEBOKE. 

Sometimes  called  the  "  Clark  Horse,"  was  a  chestnut 
stallion,  about  15  hands  high,  and  weighed  975  pounds, 
foaled  in  1830,  bred  by  Kobert  Bradley,  Fryeburg,  Me.,*

Clark,  of  Turner,  for  $350.  Gen.  Clark  kept  him  until 
1853,  and  he  was  then  sold  to  Alvah  Merrill,  also  of  Turn- 
er, for  SIOO.  He  had  become  partially  paralyzed  some 
three  years  before,  in  consequence  of  an  injury.  After 
having  several  different  owners,  he  died  in  Phillips,  Me., 
in  1858.  He  was  a  horse  of  fine  style  and  carriage,  and 
was  a  favorite  parade  horse.  In  all  his  leading  character- 
istics, he  bore  a  striking  resemblance  to  the  best  type  of 
the  Morgan  breed  of  horses,  and  alwaj^s  exhibited  in  a 
high  degree,  those  qualities  that  have  given  them  their 
justly  earned  celebrity.

horse  brought  into  Sidney  about  the  year  1838,  from  Ver- 
mont, and  known  as  the  Lovejoy  horse.  He  was  said  to 
*be  a  Morgan  horse,  and  is  described  as  a  "  blood-like 
looking  animal  of  about  1000  pounds,  bay,  with  black 
points,  head  good,  with  prominent  eyes,  body  round  and 
deep,  loin  faultless,  hips  long,  limbs  perfect  and  clean  of 
hair."  The  dam  of  the  Guild  Horse  was  by  Old  Win- 
throp  Messenger,  and  he  was  said  to  have  been  "  superi- 
or to  his  sire  in  beauty  and  quality."  When  four  years 
old  he  met  with  an  accident,  injuring  his  hip  so  that  he 
was  lame  ever  afterwards.  After  being  owned  in  Sidney

Post  Boy,  owned  by  Gen.  John  M.  Eustis,  of  Dixfield,

Morgan  Ceesar  was  by  "Woodbury,  he  by  Justin  Morgan, 
dam,  by  Quicksilver.  Mac's  dam  was  a  large  powerful 
brown  mare,  by  Bush  Messenger. 

Mr.  Kecord  sold  him  when  three  and  one-half  months 
old,  to  Mr.  Samuel  Harlow,  of  Canton.  Mr.  Harlow 
kept  him  a  stallion,  until  the  fall  after  he  was  three  years 
old,  during  which  time  he  got  about  fifteen  colts;  Mr. 
Harlow  then  gelded  him,  and  in  December,  1846,  sold 
him  to  Ambrose  Merrill,  of  Hallowell,  for  $95;  Mr.  Mer- 
rill sold  him  to  Benjamin  Hodges,  of  Hallowell,  for  S300; 
Hodges  sold  him  to  Oliver  Walton,  of  Boston;  he  to 
Harry  Jones,  of  Kew  York,  who  in  turn  disposed  of  him 
to  Mr.  John  McArdle,  of  Albany,  who  named  him.  Mr. 
Woodruff  says,  "  Mac  was  a  very  famous  horse  and  very 
fast."  June  5th,  1849,  he  won  a  race  at  Providence,  R.  I., 
under  saddle,  in  three  heats,  the  fastest  of  which  was  2.-

heats.  On  the  10th,  he  trotted  two-mile  heats,  under  sad- 
dle, against  Lady  Suffolk,  and  Jack  Rossiter,  and  won  in 
two  heats,  the  Lady  being  last  in  the  first  heat,  and  then 
drawn;  the  time  was  5.9,  5.18.  Frank  Forrester  in  his 
"Horse  of  America"  says,  "Mac's  performances  in 
1849  were  enough  to  prove  him,  what  he  was,  a  first-rate 
animal  for  his  day.  He  made  his  mile  once  in  2.26,  and 
his  two  miles  in  5.9,  5.10."  The  last  race  of  which  we 
have  any  knowledge,  in  which  he  was  engaged,  was  on 
the  5th  of  October,  1854,  against  Flora  Temple,  mile 
heats,  three  in  five,  in  harness,  for  a  purse  of  $1000. 
John  McArdle  still  owned  him,  and  he  had  been  injured 
by  over  driving,  and  had  got  "  the  thumps,"  still  he  was 
very  famous  for  his  many  contests  with  Tacony,  and 
when  matched  with  Flora  Temple,  was  thought  to  be  as 
good  as  anything  out.  But  the  mare  beat  him  with  great 
ease  in  three  heats,  the  fastest  of  which  was  2.31:|.

on  Long  Island,  he  trotted  a  double-team  race  with  Lan- 
tern, against  Stella,  and  Alice  Gray,  beating  them  in  2.- 
42,  which  was  at  that  time  the  fastest  on  record  in  that 
way  of  going,  and  was  considered  a  remarkable  perform- 
ance.

$1000,  against  a  horse  called  Gen.  Grant,  over  the  River- 
side Park,  winning  in  three  straight  heats,  with  such  ease 
that  it  was  evident  that  she  was  only  driven  to  win ;  time

Her  best  performance,  and  that  in  which  she  won  her 
fastest  record,  was  at  Boston,  July  2,  1866,  in  a  race

DRE^^r    STOCK. 


OLD  DREW. 

The  originator  of  the  famous  Drew  breed  of  horses 
was  a  dark  brown  bay  stallion,  with  black  points,  15^ 
hands  high,  and  weighing,  in  good  condition,  about  1000 
pounds;  of  genteel  form,  and  fine  style  and  action,  but 
like  all  our  older  horses,  he  was  untrained  to  trot.  His 
appearance  has  been  described  as  follows,  by  one  who 
saw  him  shortly  before  his  death  :  "  Shoulders  extreme- 
ly high,  broad  and  deep,  neck  light  at  the  head,  well 
arched,  and  deep  at  the  body;  face  a  little  rounding,  eyes 
not  very  prominent,  ears  good  length  and  well  cut,  body 
small,  loins  a  trifle  arched,  hips  very  long  and  beautifully 
turned,  limbs  large,  pasterns  long,  feet  high,  black  and 
nice,  mane  spare,  tail  in  waves,  and  hair  short  and  fine 
all  over  the  body." 

He  was  foaled  in  May,  1842,  bred  by  Hiram  Drew, 
then  of  Exeter,  Me.,  and  dropped  on  his  father's  farm, 
where  he  then  lived. 

He  was  got  by  a  three-year-old  bay  colt,  16  hands  high, 
said  to  be  thoroughbred.  Said  colt  was  bought  of  an 
English  officer  in  Fredericton  or  St.  John,  N.  B.,  and 
brought  to  Maine  by  A.  G.  Hunt,^  then  of  Exeter.  His 
dam  was  said  to  have  been  brought  from  England  in  foal 


DREW  STOCK.  61 


by  a  thoroughbred  running  horse,  and  this  colt  being 
the  produce.  At  Exeter,  Mr.  Hunt  turned  him  into  his 
pasture  which  joined  Mr.  Drew's,  from  which  he  was 
taken  several  times.  Here  in  Mr.  Drew's  pasture  he 
sired  the  colt  afterwards  known  as  the  Drew  horse,  which 
is  probably  the  only  colt  he  ever  got,  as  Mr.  Hunt  had 
him  castrated  shortly  after,  and  sold  him.  The  dam  of 
old  Drew  was  a  bay  mare,  afterwards  taken  to  Boston, 
and  known  as  Boston  Girl.     (See  Boston  Girl.) 

Although  the  statements  of  different  parties  concern- 
ing the  pedigree  of  the  old  Drew  horse  are  somewhat 
vague  and  unsatisfactory,  it  is  clearly  established  that  he 
was  a  highly  bred  horse,  and  surely  the  generations  that 
have  sprung  from  him  should  be  conclusive  in  regard  to 
the  purity  of  his  blood.  He  imparted  the  trotting  faculty 
to  his  offspring  in  a  remarkable  degree.  He  never  passed 
out  of  Mr.  Drew's  hands.  He  died  in  Mr.  Burrill's  stable 
in  Fairfield  when  24  years  old.  He  was  found  in  his 
stall  in  the  morning  with  his  leg  broken,  and  had  to  be 


killed.

each,  and  one  in  2.31^. 

He  was  subsequently  purchased  and  taken  to  California 
by  M.  J.  Lewis,  Esq.  Here  he  won  a  race  at  Sacramento, 
since  which  time  he  has  been  in  the  stud  at  San  Francis-

sold  him  in  1864  to  Capt.  Sanford,  of  Bangor,  for  S7000, 
and  he  was  subsequently  purchased  by  David  Quimby,  of 
Corinna,  Maine.  He  is  a  horse  of  fine  style  and  carriage, 
and  not  only  one  of  the  fastest  walking  stallions  in  the 
country,  but  is  a  horse  of  the  finest  speed  and  courage  as

a  trotter.  Indeed,  he  is  regarded  by  many  as  the  most 
famous  son  of  the  old  Drew  horse.  He  has  been  very 
successful  in  the  stud,  and  is  the  sire  of  Little  Fred, 
Black  "Walnut,  Bully  Brooks,  Hard  Road,  Maine  Girl,

SHEPHEED  F.  KNAPP. 

.  Sorrel  stallion  with  white  star  in  the  forehead,  and 
white  hind  feet,  15|-  hands  high,  foaled  in  1857,  bred  by 
George  Snell,  of  Turner,  Me.,  got  by  Old  Eaton,  dam,  by 
Whalebone.  Snell  sold  him  when  a  weanling  to  Silas 
Mitchell,  of  Buckfield.  Mitchell  kept  him  until  he  was 
two  years  old,  and  sold  him  in  August,  1859,  to  the  Eus- 
sell  Bros.,  for  $200.  In  1860,  when  three  years  old,  he 
stood  for  service  a  part  of  the  season  in  the  vicinity  of 
Buckfield,  and  got  a  few  colts,  among  which  were  Shep- 
herd Knapp,  Jr.,  and  the  sorrel  mare.  Caoutchouc. 
Before  the  season  closed,  he  was  sold  to  Mr.  Emery,  of 
Portland.  He  afterwards  went  to  Kew  York  into  the 
hands  of  Mr.  Genet.  When  four  years  old,  he  was 
trained,  and  trotted  a  very  severe  race  of  five  heats,  losing 
the  first  two,  and  winning  the  three  subsequent  ones,  the 
best  of  them  being  2.41.  The  next  year,  while  in  train- 
ing for  a  race  with  Harry  Clay,  he  continually  hit  him- 
self in  the  elbows,  by  reason  of  excessive  knee-action  as 
it  appeared,  and  this  prevented  the  bringing  of  him  up 
to  the  mark.  He  was  afterwards  sold  to  Mr.  Senter,  and 
taken  to  England.  In  1864,  he  was  matched  to  trot  two 
miles  and  a  half  with  a  horse  called  Express  for  $1000  a 
side,  the  race  to  come  off  at  the  Bois  de  Boulogne  near 


96  NOTED   MAINE    HORSES. 

Paris,  France,  on  the  31st  of  January,  1865.  Express 
was  an  American,  also,  and  was  owned  by  a  French  gen- 
tleman at  Rouen,  in  IsTormandy.  The  race  was  won  by 
Shepherd  F.  Knapp  in  6.14,  being  a  trifle  better  than  2.30 
to  the  mile.  In  1866,  much  excitement  was  caused  in 
sporting  circles  on  the  announcement  that  a  great  Inter- 
national match  had  been  entered  into  between  two  horses, 
the  representatives  of  England  and  France,  in  which  £600 
were  deposited.  The  horse  chosen  as  the  representative 
of  France  was  Abdallah  King,  an  American,  while  Shep- 
herd F.  Knapp  was  selected  as  the  champion  of  England. 
Abdallah  King  was  trained  at  Paris,  while  Knapp  went 
through  the  '^ grand  preparation"  at  Ealing,  and  only 
took  a  trip  across  the  Channel  on  the  Friday  preceding 
the  race,  which  took  place  at  the  Cascade,  on  the  Bois  de 
Boulogne,  Paris,  on  Monday,  Feb.  12, 1866.  The  distance 
was  one  mile  in  harness.  The  elite  of  the  Parisian  sport- 
ing world  were  present,  although  the  race  as  it  turned 
out,  was  a  hollow  affair.  Knapp  literally  "walked  in," 
and  won  as  he  liked  by  nearly  fifty  yards. 

SHEPHERD  KXAPP,   Jr. 

Bay  gelding,  with  narrow  white  stripe  in  face,  spot  on 
under  lip,  two  white  stockings  forward  and  one  behind, 
with  white  hairs  mixed  in  all  over  his  body,  about  IS^- 
hands  high,  foaled  in  1861,  bred  by  John  E.  Bonney, 
Turner,  Me.,  got  by  Shepherd  F.  Knapp,  dam,  by  Royal 
Oak  (which  see).  Bonney  sold  him  when  a  sucking  colt 
to  the  Russell  Bros.,  of  Buckfield.  He  was  originally  a 
pacer,  and  followed  that  way  of  going  until  he  was  four 
years  old,  when  he  left  it  for  a  better  one,  and  com- 
menced to  trot  fast.    He  made  his  first  appearance  in 


EATON   STOCK.  97 


public  at  the  Maine  State  Fair  of  1866  at  Augusta,  Me., 
where  he  won  the  five  year  old  purse  and  a  record  of  2.36. 
At  that  time  he  wore  forward  shoes  weighing  2\  pounds 
each.  He  was  then  sold  to  George  M.  Delaney,  of 
Augusta,  for  $3,250,  and  went  into  the  stable  of  George 
H.  Bailey,  the  well-known  trainer.  His  first  race  in  Mr. 
Bailey's  hands  was  at  Augusta  in  Oct.,  1866,  when  he  beat 
Emperor  and  Johnny  Schmoker.  ISTov.  1,  same  year,  he 
met  and  defeated,  in  straight  heats,  the  stallion  Draco 
Prince,  and  the  celebrated  twenty-miler,  John  Stewart, 
over  the  Mj-stic  Park,  Boston.  The  time  of  the  heats 
were  2.33,  2.33|-,  2.36,  and  in  the  third  heat  Knapp  gave 
a  taste  of  his  quality  by  trotting  a  quarter  in  33^  seconds. 

The  next  season,  1867,  Mr.  Bailey  had  Knapp  in  train- 
ing at  Riverside  Park,  Boston,  where  he  was  very  success- 
ful. Wliile  owned  by  Mr.  Delaney  he  trotted  fourteen 
races,  and  won  eleven. 

He  was  sold  that  fall  to  Charles  O.  Conant,  of  Boston, 
foT"  $6,500,  and  trained  by  the  late  William  Woodruff. 
The  next  season,  1868,  he  was  sold  to  Dr.  Page,  of 
Boston,  his  present  owner,  who  paid  $10,000  for  him. 
May  27,  1869,  at  the  Prospect  Park,  he  beat  Old  Put, 
Darkness,  Com.  ^utt.  Western  ^N'ew  York,  and  Surprise, 
in  straight  heats,  for  a  purse  of  $3000;  time,  2.30,  2.30^, 
2.34.  June  7,  same  year,  he  beat  the  black  stallion  Dark- 
ness in  three  straight  heats  to  wagon,  for  $2000.  The 
race  was  at  the  Riverside  Park,  Boston,  and  Knapp  won 
in  2.33,  2.301-,  2.29^,  which  is  his  fastest  public  record. 
He  has  since  passed  through  the  hands  of  several  of  the 
most  prominent  Boston  trainers,  and  has  been  trotted  all 
over  the  country,  but  has  been  very  unsuccessful  until  the 
past  season.  In  July,  1873,  he  was  returned  to  Mr.

Bailey,  his  old  trainer,  in  hopes  that  the  same  treat- 
ment he  had  formerly  given  him  might  produce  the  same 
results,  and  that  he  might  be  able  to  turn  the  tables  upon 
those  horses  that  have  been  defeating  him  for  the  past 
five  years,  by  again  appearing  in  public  as  a  winner.  The 
result,  while  it  is  very  flattering  to  Mr.  Bailey's  skill  as  a 
patient,  careful,  and  intelligent  handler  of  the  trotting 
horse,  must  be  also  very  gratifying  to  the  friends  of  the 
little  white-legged  Knapp,  who  have  stuck  to  him  through 
so  many  adversities.  He  started  in  ten  races  last  fall, 
and  won  nine  of  them,  receiving  one  forfeit,  having  lost 
but  one  race  through  the  fall  campaign. 

At  Waterville,  Me.,  July  25,  he  beat  Gen.  Lightfoot, 
Bed  Jacket,  White  Stockings,  Little  Ed,  Pomp,  and  Ama- 
zon; best  time,  2.37.  Lewiston  Driving  Park,  Aug.  29, 
received  forfeit  from  White  Stockings  in  a  match  for 
$500.  Same  track,  Aug.  30,  match  for  S500,  he  beat  Buf- 
falo Bill  in  straight  heats;  time  2.34,  2,33^,  2.32.  At 
Maine  State  Fair  at  Bangor,  Sept.  10,  he  won  the  Swee^o- 
stakes  purse,  beating  the  stallion  Gen.  Lightfoot,  and  the 
St.  John's  horse,  Andy  Johnson.  The  time  was  2.41,  2.35, 
2.35,  2.37,  2.44^.  Andy  Johnson  won  the  first  two  heats, 
and  the  last  was  trotted  in  a  gale  of  wind  and  rain.  In 
Sept.,  at  the  Forest  City  Park,  Portland,  he  won  the 
"  free  for  all  "  purse  of  ^400,  beating  Buffalo  Bill;  best 
time,  2.36.  In  the  last  heat  of  this  race,  Knapp,  by  a  bad 
break,  fell  several  lengths  behind,  but  getting  steadied 
as  he  reached  the  three-quarter  pole,  he  trotted  the  last 
quarter  in  the  remarkable  time  of  30  seconds,  winning 
the  heat  and  race.  At  Taunton,  Mass.,  Bristol  County 
Fair,  Oct.  2,  he  won  the  "free  for  all"  purse  of  $700, 
beating  Billy  Platter  and  Climax;  time  2.33^,  2.34^,  2.34f , 
2.36;  Platter  winning  the  second  heat.    At  Beacon  Park,

15  hands  high,  called  Kising  Sun,  who  was  brought 
into  Canton,  Me.,  in  January,  1842,  from  Calais,  by  a  Mr.

the  Legislature,  and  his  son-in-law,  Mr.  Griff'eth  took  him 
to  Canton  to  winter.  He  was  said  at  that  time  to  be,  by 
an  imported  thoroughbred  horse,  and  out  of  a  French

The  original  Brandywine,  known  in  Maine  as  "  Cobb's 
Brandy  wine,"  was  a  dark  bay  stallion  with  black  points, 
about  lo|-  hands  high.  He  was  brought  to  Maine  from 
Canada  about  the  year  1853  by  Aaron  Cobb,  of  Hebron, 
Me.,  who  owned  him  until  he  died,  two  or  three  years 
afterwards.  He  was  a  well-bred  horse,  said  to  be  nearly 
thoroughbred,  with  fine  trotting  action,  and  was  fast.

Mahogany  bay  stallion,  with  black  man^  and  tail,  14 
hands  high,  and  weighed  about  800  pounds.  Bought  in 
the  City  of  Montreal,  C.  E.,  in  February,  1856,  and 
brought  to  Maine  by  Henry  A.  Young,  then  of  Hartford. 
Accompanying  him  was  a  certificate  stating  that  he  was 
then  four  years  old,  got  by  Brandywine,  dam,  by  St. 
Lawrence.  Mr.  Young  soon  disposed  of  a  one-half  inter- 
est in  him  to  Mr.  Benjamin  Young,  of  Hartford,  and  the 
other  half  to  B.  W.  Briggs,  of  Sumner.  He  remained

liam Childs,  of  Mechanic  Palls.  After  having  several 
different  owners  he  became  the  property  of  Mr.  D.  M.

hind the  record,  leaving  that  to  those  curious  in  such 
matters.

establish  the  fact  that  the  sire  of  Gen.  Knox  was  Ver-

as  was  long  published.  His  pedigree  we  give  below  in

Gen.  Knox's  performances  on  the  turf  have  been  few 
in  number  and  always  made  in  poor  condition,  as  he  stood 
for  service  every  season  while  owned  in  Maine.  Among 
them,  however,  are  the  following  :  At  Waterville,  Me., 
Oct.  22,  1863,  he  beat  Hiram  Drew,  and  won  a  record  of 
2.32.  In  18G4,  in  Sept.,  at  the  first  exhibition  of  the  jSTew 
England  Agricultural  Society,  held  in  Springfield,  Mass., 
he  beat  Draco,  Duke  of  Wellington,  and  one  other,  in 
three  straight  heats  in  2.31^,  2.37,  2.34i,  making  the  first 
half  mile  in  the  first  heat  in  1.14,  and  the  first  half  mile 
in  the  third  heat  in  1.15,  and  winning  the  distinction  as 
"  Champion  of  New  England,"  which  he  has  ever  since 
held. 

He  was  in  very  poor  condition  to  trot  at  the  time  this 
race  was  made,  having  received  no  training,  but  on  the 
contrary  had  covered  mares  to  within  twenty  days  of  the 
time   of   the   race.     In  1871,  he  was  entered  in  the  2.30 


KNOX  STOCK.  125 


class,  at  Buffalo,  and  during  his  preliminary  preparation 
turned  the  track  in  2.26,  but  a  subsequent  lameness  pre- 
vented his  starting  for  the  premium. 

After  a  very  successful  career  in  the  stud,  in  Maine, 
where  he  has  left  a  numerous  progeny,  he  was  sold  in 
1872,  to  Mr.  H.  K.  Smith,  of  Kew  York,  for  110,000. 

The  Spirit  of  the  Times,  of  Dec.  20, 1873,  in  speaking 
of  Gen.  Knox,  says  :  "  Gen.  Knox  is  a  grand  horse, 
eighteen  years  old,  with  legs  and  feet  as  sound  and  clean  as 
a  wild  deer's,  and  the  sire  of  Camors,  Lady  Maud,  Gilbreth 
Knox,  Plato,  and  many  others.  He  is  a  natural  trotter, 
and  even  now  can  show  an  astounding  burst  of  speed 
when  given  his  head  in  his  exercise.  There  are  few  sires 
whose  get  are  so  "  chock  full  of  trot,"  to  use  a  down-east 
expression.  "  A  Knox  that  cannot  trot  is  a  rarity,"  says 
an  expert  horseman  who  has  been  handling  them  for 
years.  "  Gen.  Knox  is  now  located  at  the  Fashion  Stud 
Farm,  near  Trenton,  isT.  J.,  and  is  the  projDerty  of  its 
proprietor,  Mr.  H.  IN".  Smith,  owner  of  Goldsmith  Maid, 
Lady  Thorn,  Socrates,  Tattler,  and  part  owner  of  Jay 
Gould." 

"  In  this  brilliant  galaxy,  Knox  attracts  a  due  propor- 
tion of  interest.  He  received  many  mares  last  season 
from  remote  points,  and  the  astute  banker  who  owns  him 
considers  him  a  remunerative  and  truly  valuable  invest- 
ment." 

It  may  not  be  uninteresting  to  state  that  the  celebrated 
mare  Lady  Thorn  was  bred  to  Gen.  Knox,  in  1873,  in 
preference  to  Hambletonian  or  his  descendants,  and  her 
colt  foaled  Feb.  22, 1874,  called  Gen.  "Washington,  in  honor 
of  the  day  on  which  he  was  foaled,  is  described  by  the 
Spirit  of  the  Times  as  "  a  large  and  finely  formed  bay 
colt  with  black  points,  light  about  the  head  and  neck, 


128  KOTED   MAINE   HORSES. 

nostrils  and  ears  very  thin,  neck  long  and  slim,  "with 
strong  and  well-formed  legs,"  and  the  probability  is  should 
no  misfortune  befall  him,  he  "will  prove  "worthy  of  his  il- 
lustrious breeding,  and  perpetuate  the  fame  of  his  sire 
and  dam. 

CAMORS. 

Black  gelding  "with  no  white  marks,  1^^  hands  high, 
foaled  in  1864,  bred  by  Levi  Atwood,  Portland,  Me.,  got 
by  Gen.  Knox. 

His  dam  was  bred  by  Gen.  Peleg  Wads  worth,  of  Hiram, 
Me.,  and  was  got  b}^  a  very  common  horse,  raised  and 
always  kept  in  Hiram,  and  out  of  a  mare  whose  pedigree 
Gen.  Wadsworth  does  not  know.  When  two  years  old 
Mr.  Atwood  sold  him  at  auction,  and  he  became  the 
property  of  R.  O.  Conant,  of  Portland. 

He  was  afterwards  sold  to  Lon  Morris,  of  Boston,  who 
named  him,  for  over  ^2000.  He  sold  him  to  John  F. 
Merrow,  also  of  Boston,  for  $11,500.  August  15, 1872,  at 
Utica,  N.  Y.,  Camors  won  the  race  for  horses  that  never 
beat  2.50  in  straight  heats,  in  2.30,  2.29,  2.31^,  for  a  purse 
of  S3000.  August  20,  at  the  Hampden  Park,  Springfield, 
Mass.,  he  won  the  2.30  race,  beating  ten  horses  in  straight 
heats,  in  2.34f,  2.32f,  2.30^.  Sept.  10,  1872,  at  Mystic 
Park,  Boston,  he  beat  Gray  Eddy,  Dauntless,  and  Lydia 
Thompson,  in  straight  heats,  time  2.27,  2.25^,  2.26^. 

His  crowning  triumph  for  the  season  was  achieved  at 
the  Prospect  Park,  Brooklyn,  Sept.  19,  where  he  beat 
Judge  Pullerton,  W.  H.  Allen,  Lulu,  and  Triumph,  win- 
ning the  first  and  second  heats  in  2.23,  2.21|,  and  the 
fourth  in  2.23^. 

He  wintered  at  the  Mystic  Park,  Boston,  and  August 
16, 1873,  he  trotted  a  race  at  Buffalo,  IST.  Y.,  against  Judge 


KNOX  STOCK.  127 


PuUerton,  Sensation,  and  other  fast  ones.  Camors  won 
the  first  and  fastest  heat  in  2.20^,  and  the  second  in  2.21f , 
but  lost  the  race.  The  Spirit  of  the  Times ^  in  speaking 
of  the  race  at  Buffalo,  says,  "  Camors  had  the  speed  of 
them  all,  and  doubtless  could  have  beaten  any  one  singly. 
The  least  that  can  be  said  is  that  he  fairly  surprised  his 
most  sanguine  friends,  and  scored  a  record  that  will  be 
pointed  to  with  pride  by  the  admirers  of  the  Knox  blood." 
"  The  first  heat  done  in  2.20|-  was  a  remarkable  per- 
formance, under  the  circumstances,  and  if  the  track  had 
been  in  good  condition,  there  is  little  doubt  but  the  time 
would  have  been  down  in  the  'teens." 

Sept.  27, 1873,  at  Prospect  Park,  in  a  race  for  horses 
that  never  beat  2.20,  for  a  purse  of  $3000,  Camors,  Sensa- 
tion,2Huntress,  W.  H.  Allen  and  Gazelle  were  entered. 
Sensation  won  the  first  and  second  heats  in  2.22f ,  2.24, 
and  Camors  the  next  three  and  race  in  2.23:^,  2.22^,

Among  his  performances  on  the  turf  while  owned  in

he  beat  Gen.  McClellan,  winning  the  last  three  out  of

and  the  time  was  again  2.31.  At  Karragansett  Park,  Oct.  7, 
1869,  in  a  race  for  horses  that  never  beat  2.31,  there  were

breth Knox  the  second  in  2.26f ,  and  the  third  in  2.29^. 
As  they  were  coming  down  for  the  word,  in  the  third 
heat,  Gilbreth  Knox's  driver  drove  too  near  the  jDole, 
and  was  thrown  out  of  his  sulky.  He  hung  to  the  reins 
after  he  was  overboard,  but  Knox  was  a  little  frightened 
and  was  finally  let  go,  trotting  half  way  around  the 
course  alone,  when  he  held  up  and  was  captured. 
Another  vehicle  was  furnished  and  they  got  the  word.

made  expressly  for  this  work,  from  a  painting  from  life, 
by  Mr.  G.  IL  Bailey,  the  well-known  artist,  whose  name 
is  a  sufficient  guarantee  of  its  truthfulness.  Palmer 
Knox,  with  his  fine  size,  beautiful  proportions  and  as- 
tonishing muscular  development,  realizes  our  ideal  of  a 
fast  and  lasting  trotter.  At  the  Maine  State  Fair,  in  1873, 
at  Bangor,  he  won  the  three-minute  race  in  a  field  of  ten

Palmer  Knox  weighs  1100  pounds,  and  is  second  to  none  in  the  country,  being 
equally  adapted  for  work,  riding  or  speed.  His  size,  style,  color,  disposition,  bottom 
and  speed,  together  with  power  to  transmit  these  good  qualities  to  his  oifspring,  gives 
him  the  preference  over  all  other  horses  now  standing  for  breeding  purposes.

Oct.  21, 1872,  in  a  race  for  four-year-old  colts,  best  three

Rowe's  Tommy,  by  Thomas  Jefferson,  Dixon,  by  Happy 
Medium,  and  Silver  Heel,  by  Rysdyk's  Hambletonian. 

The  first  heat  was  won  by  Rowe's  Tommy,  in  2.48|, 
Ben  Morrill,  second,  and  Dixon  distanced.  Silver  Heel 
having  been  drawn,  only  two  were  left  to  contend  for  the 
prize.  .The  second  heat  was  won  by  Ben.  Morrill,  in  2.34^, 
the  third  in  2.32f ,  and  the  fourth  in  2.36. 

The  value  of  this  performance  should  not  be  under 
estimated.  Xot  only  was  the  time  remarkable,  consider- 
ing the  age  of  the  contestants,  the  third  heat  being  in 
2.32f,  and  the  first  half  in  1.13f ,  but  it  should  be  borne 
in  mind  that  the  colt  had  to  contend  against  the  repre- 
sentatives of  the  best  blood  in  the  country.  Rowe's 
Tommy,  being  by  Thomas  Jefferson,  one  of  the  most 
promising  young  horses  in  the  country,  he  by  Toronto

HAMPTON. 

This  horse  is  a  splendid  golden  chestnut,  with  dapples, 
stands  16^  hands  high,  and  weighs  twelve  hundred 
pounds,  and  is  said  to  be  "  not  only  one  of  the  best  bred, 
but  one  of  the  finest  looking  horses  in  America."  He  is 
coming  rapidly  into  favor,  and  is  destined,  we  think,  to 
become  the  progenitor  of  a  distinct  and  valuable 
family  of  horses.  He  was  foaled  in  1861,  bred  by 
Wm.  Sparks,  in  Orange  County,  New  York,  got  by 
Jupiter,  he  by  Long  Island  Black  Hawk,  by  Andrew

The  dam  of  Hampton  was  by  Kildare,  he  by  Imported 
Scotch  Highlander.  He  was  brought  to  Maine  in  1865, 
and  is  now  owned  by  J.  S.  Lyford,  Esq.,  of  Lewiston. 
Perhaps  the  best  of  his  get  is  the  promising  young  stal- 
lion,

This  horse  is  a  blood  bay,  with  very  heavy  black  tail 
and  mane,  sixteen  hands  high,  and  is  what  horsemen

QUICKSILYEE-. 

Silver  gray  stallion,  at  some  seasons  of  the  year  show- 
ing almost  black,  got  by  the  imported  Arabian  horse, 
Dey  of  Algiers.  He  was  brought  from  Vermont  about 
the  year  1818,  by  James  Pullen,  of  East  Winthrop,  and 
was  in  the  stud  at  that  place,  and  at  Hallo  well  Cross 
Eoads,  now  Manchester,  till  his  death,  which  occurred 
about  1826  or  1827.  He  was  brought  to  Winthrop  while 
the  Messenger  stock  was  in  the  hight  of  its  popularity, 
and  Quicksilver  and  Winthrop  Messenger  were  for  some 
time  rivals  in  the  same  town  and  county.  The  Quicksil- 
vers were  handsome,  docile  and  sprightly,  and  for  a  while 
superseded  the  Messengers  in  popularity,  but  as  the  Mes- 
senger colts  came  into  service,  they  began  to  be  appre- 
ciated, and  the  descendants  of  Messenger  are  every  day 
becoming  more  and  more  valued,  while  the  Quicksilvers 
are  nearly  forgotten.

about  182-,  bred  and  owned  by  William  Stanley,  of  West

Dexter  Pullen,  of  Waterville,  and  he  was  kept  in  the  stud 
in  Waterville  for  many  years.  He  was  a  beautiful  horse, 
and  in  build  and  action  possessed  all  the  cha.racteristics  of 
the  Quicksilvers.  He  got  many  fine  colts.  He  was 
ridden,  as  many  will  remember,  by  Gen.  Greenleaf 
White,  of  Augusta,  for  two  years,  at  all  the  musters  in

"When  a  colt  he  met  with  an  accident  by  falling  over 
backwards,  striking  on  his  crest,  and  he  never  recovered 
from  the  injury.  He  always  carried  his  head  to  the  left, 
with  his  neck  a  little  "  crooked,"  hence  his  name.  He 
was  a  very  powerful  horse,  but  was  only  broken  to  the
